why I opened milly's studio school
I started my business as a happy accident in 2020, sharing my illustrations with family and friends as I taught myself how to digitally illustrate. A few 'can you draw my pet' messages later, I started an Instagram account dedicated to my illustrations, and that's where it all began!
I had no idea what I was doing, and was completely winging it. 6 years later, I have turned my happy accident into a full-time job and learned so much through trial and error along the way.
Milly's Studio School is where I share all of this with you, so you don’t have to figure everything out the hard way!

🎨 Create Your Small Business Canva Template Kit
This is a hands-on, work-along workshop where we'll create a collection of branded Canva templates for your small business together.
Rather than starting from a blank Canva page every time you need to create a post, we'll build a set of reusable templates that you can customise again and again - helping you save time, stay consistent, and make marketing your business feel much easier!
I'll be demonstrating using my own Milly's Studio branding so you can see my thought process, but I'll encourage you to use your own colours, fonts and branding throughout the workshop so you leave with templates that feel completely unique to your business.
During the workshop, we'll create:
✏️ a branded Instagram post template
✏️ a carousel template
✏️ an Instagram Story template
✏️ a Pinterest Pin template
✏️ a simple email header template
✏️ a reusable promotional template that can be adapted for new products, launches, sales, and more
Along the way, I'll also share lots of Canva tips, shortcuts and little design decisions that will help your templates feel recognisably-you.
The aim isn't to become a Canva expert... it's to build your own library of templates that make showing up online quicker, easier and more consistent!
For the best experience, I'd recommend joining the Zoom call on one device (such as a laptop or tablet) while following along in Canva on another. If you'd rather simply watch the live workshop and create everything afterwards, don't worry - a full replay is included so you can work through everything at your own pace.
There will also be plenty of time at the end for questions if you'd like a bit of extra guidance! 💬
